both  the  Civil  and  Military  organization.  It  is  highly  probable  that  the 
copious  use  of  Names  and  frank  statements  rendered  the  quick  suppression

ing by  its  extreme  scarcity,  it  is  doubtful  if  more  than  100  copies  were 
issued.  In  any  event,  it  is  readily  conceded  that  not  more  than  10  or  12 
copies  survived,  and  of  these  several  lacked  plates  and  some  of  the  docu-

P^  '       wrappers.  Monterrey:  Imprenta  del  C.  Agustin  V.  Zamorano,  1835 

The  rarest  and  most  valuable  California  item  extant.     But  two  other 

copies  are  known  to  be  in  existence,  one  in  the  Bancroft  Library  and  the 

v^M.  other  in  the  California  State  Library.    The  copy  in  the  Bancroft  Library 

^  lacks  the  wrappers,  and  the  one  in  the  State  Library  we  are  informed 

does  not  contain  the  "Nota  Del  Impresor  and  Erata." 

Cowan  in  his  Bibliography  states  that  this  is  the  second  and  most  im- 
portant book  printed  on  the  first  printing  press  in  California.  This  press 
was  brought  from  Mexico  by  Jose  Figueroa  in  1833,  and  was  nothing 
more  than  a  little  old  hand-press  and  a  small  quantity  of  worn  type. 
Figueroa  died  during  the  progress  of  the  printing  of  this  work  and  an 

28 


Obituary  notice  appears  on  the  last  page.      (This  last  leaf,  however,  is 
here  supplied  in  exact  facsimile.) 

Inasmuch  as  the  *  *  Reglamento, "  which  preceded  this  from  the  press, 
was  a  work  of  only  16  pages  and  really  only  a  pamphlet,  it  may  safely 
be  said  that  the  "Manifesto"  is  actually  the  first  book  issued  from  any 
press  in  California.  The  country  has  been  carefully  scoured  for  the  last 
twenty-five  years  for  specimens  of  the  Zamorano  press,  and  it  is  deemed 
safe  to  say  that  perhaps  never  will  another  copy  appear  on  the  market.        |^ 

Jose   Figueroa   was   Governor  and   Comandante   General   of   Calif  omia        >'  f^  Q 
from  Jan.  14th,  1833,  to  his  death  on  Sept.  29th,  1835. 

The  "Manifesto"  is  a  defense  of  his  administration  from  1833  to  1835, 
particularly  in  regard  to  his  attitude  toward  the  colonization  schemes  of 
Hi  jar  and  Padres. 

This  rare  item  was  the  personal  copy  belonging  to  Juan  B.  Alvarado, 
Gobernado  de  California,  and  presented  by  him  to  Don  Carlos  Castro. 

Governor  Alvarado  was  Eevolutionary  Governor  of  California  from  Dec, 
1836,  to  July,  1837,  from  that  date  by  submitting  to  Mexico  he  became 
Eegular  Governor  of  California  ad  interim,  till  Nov.  24th,  1839,  and  then 
was  Constitutional  till  Dec.  31st,  1842. 

Don  Carlos  Castro  was  a  noted  character  in  Monterey  during  the  Thir- 
ties and  early  Forties. 

On  the  front  fly-leaf  appear  their  names  in  contemporary  writing.  Later 
the  book  became  the  property  of  Monsignor  Alemany,  who  was  the  First 
Bishop  of  both  Californias  after  his  arrival  here  in  1850.  On  the  front 
wrapper  his  name  is  faintly  written.

Of  the  greatest  rarity.     Probably  the  earliest  issue  of  the  press  in

good  portion  of  the  above  pamphlet  is  devoted  to  his  journey  and  ad- 
ventures, describing  life  in  Oregon  mining,  trouble  with  Mormons,  etc.

MASSIVE  HISTORIC  JEWEL  CASKET  MADE  OF  CALIFORNIA  GOLD 

350.  JEWEL  CASKET.  Rectangular  with  moulded  top  and 
base;  resting  on  four  feet  formed  of  four  miniature  female  figures, 
allegorical  of  California.  The  top  pilasters  and  mouldings  are 
of  beautifully  veined  gold-bearing  moss  agate  of  delicate  tones  of 
gray,  cream,  pink  and  blue,  highly  polished  and  wrought  in  mosaics 
with  gold  outline.  The  sides  are  paneled  with  ovals  of  gray  and 
cream  agate  bearing  rich  veinings  of  gold.  The  interior  of  the  top 
is  recessed  and  enriched  in  full  relief  mth  scenes  typical  of  the 
early  days  of  the  Union  and  Central  Pacific  Railroads — mounted 
Indians,  herds  of  buffalo,  a  train  of  cars,  etc.  Some  of  the  figures 
are  fashioned  of  lumps  of  pure  gold,  while  a  part  of  the  scene  is 
engraved  on  the  inner  lining  of  the  cover.  The  box  was  made  by 
A.  Andrews,  a  goldsmith  of  San  Francisco,  and  is  signed.  Height, 
7  inches;  length,  9  inches. 

An  exceedingly  interesting  and  valuable  historic  souvenir  prom 
THE  mines  of  California,  made  of  fine  gold  and  carefully  selected  speci- 
mens of  rich  gold-bearing  moss  agate  from  the  most  famous  mines  of  the 
state,  and  decorated  in  celebration  of  the  opening  of  the  first  railroad 

ACROSS    THE    CONTINENT    TO   THE    PACIFIC    COAST.       The    goldsmiths    of    San 

Francisco  were  frequently  called  upon  to  make  small  souvenir  trinkets  of 
various  sorts  from  nuggets  brought  from  the  diggings,  but  objects  of  such 
extraordinary  weight  and  value  and  displaying  such  difficult  and  intri- 
cate workmanship,  were  seldom  contemplated.  The  Casket  here  described 
was  made  specially,  and  without  regard  to  cost,  for  one  of  the  wealthiest 
of  the  Western  mining  men  of  his  day,  and  is  perhaps  one  of  the  most 
important  examples  in  existence  of  the  early  goldsmiths'  work  of  the 
Pacific  Coast.  The  decoration  which  is  intensely  American  in  character, 
shows  an  early  railroad  train  crossing  the  plains,  with  mounted  Indians, 
herds  of  fleeing  Buffalo,  etc.,  and  is  reminiscent  of  one  of  the  most  ro- 
mantic periods  of  the  history  of  the  West.

There  are  many  great  collections  of  objects  of  old  wrought  silver  in 
private  hands  in  various  parts  of  the  world,  but  gold  has  always  been  of 
the  highest  degree  of  rarity.  Mr.  E.  Alfred  Jones,  quite  contrary,  no 
doubt,  to  popular  belief,  by  actual  count  enumerates  only  thirty-eight 
pieces,  up  to  1829,  at  present  existing  in  all  England,  and  this  includes 
the  famous  Eoyal  Collection  at  Windsor,  where  only  three  pieces  are  to 
be  found.
